Interstitial Cystitis (IC) Support Group

Interstitial Cystitis (IC) is a urinary bladder disease of unknown cause characterised by pelvic and intense bladder pain, urinary frequency (as often as every 10 minutes), and pain with urination. It is not unusual for patients to experience nocturia and pain with sexual intercourse. IC is also known as painful bladder syndrome (PBS), particularly outside of the USA.

Naproxen

My general care practitioner gave me naproxen not too long ago for pain I have in my hand sometimes, but I have not had pain and taken it since I got it. Now I'd like to take it, but I'm a little afraid to see if it's going to cause any problems with my bladder. Does anyone else take Naproxen, and if so, how does it effect you?

i take it from time to time. and i am fine. but different people react to it. so i think you should take prelief and then take it to see what happens.

If I am correct, I think naproxen is the same as Aleve. I was told not to take any type of antinflamatory because it has acid in it. You should take Tylenol if you are in pain.

I should clarify. When I was a child I broke my hand and it never set properly, causing the tendons to be deformed. My doctor gave me a perscription strength Naproxen because the amount of Aleve it would take to get the same effect is ridiculous. I need to take an anti-inflamatory because the tendons in my hand cause me a lot of grief during weather changes.

just take some pre-lief before you take it and you should be fine. i am sure from what you told me you don't have real bad pains. i would try it and then if you have a reaction suggest something else.

Good evening
If your bladder is not in pain, you are able to take it. One thing about people with ic, everything effects all differently. A treatment that works for me, might not work for you. Your symptoms, I bet are not the same as mine either, IC is a strange chronic illness.
Take care

    Food Allergy?

    My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
